Fallout from the Ivana Williams scandal continues to spread at the Mississippi Highway Patrol. MHP fired Master Sergeant Julius Hutson on April 2 after it discovered he asked Williams to send him nude photographs of her to his phone even though he was her superior. Williams sent him several nude photos. MHP terminated Williams in February when it discovered she sent nude pictures of herself to several troopers.
Internal Affairs launched an investigation into allegations that you requested and/or received nude or sexually explicit photographs from former Trooper First Class Ivana Williams approximately three or four years ago while she was employed with the agency.
You admitted that, during a conversation with Williams on the social media app Snapchat, Williams sent you an above-the-waist photo of a woman's naked breasts. Because the woman's face was not visible in the photo you admitted asking Williams to send another photo with her face visible. You said that Williams sent you a second photo that revealed the lower portion of woman's body, below the waist. However, you noted that Williams never confirmed whether she was in either photo, and explained that the photos were sent while both of you were off duty. You denied sending any photos to Williams or engaging in sexual activity with her.
You admitted that you were ninety percent sure that you were Williams' supervisor when you requested and received photos. You explained that you downloaded the social media app Snapchat on your state-issued cell at one point, but you believe you used your personal phone to receive photos from Williams.
Further, as part of the investigation, you were asked to turn over your state-issued cell phone. A data dump was performed, and the data extracted revealed nude/ sexually explicit photos of women that were taken on your personal cell but synced to your state cell.
During your due process hearing, you admitted that the allegations noted above are true and clarified that you were promoted to Master Sergeant in 2017 and moved to Troop C in 2018, left and returned on September 1, 2022. Records show that you transferred to Troop C on May 18, 2018, went to MBI on December 1, 2021, andreturned to Troop Con September 1, 2022. Records further show that Williams was assigned to Troop C on March 6, 2018, where she remained until January 2024.
Employee was terminated after 18 years of outstanding performance duties with DPS. An investigation was conducted on Ivana Williams and Williams alleged an event four years ago that she sent a nude picture to a personal device. Internal affairs dumped my state phone and discovered unrelated evidence to Williams. I advised internal affairs because I had two phones my apple identification mirrored pictures taken of my wife with my personal phone to my state phone. I told them prior to the dump.
You told Internal Affairs that you notified Master Sergeant Eric Henry of your interview with the Attorney General's Office, either the day of or the day after and Captain Chriss Turnipseed two or three weeks later. However, you did not notify Troop C Troop Commander Ricky Dean.You admitted in your due process hearing that you did not notify anyone prior to your interview.
The failure to properly notify her Troop Commander was a serious offense. However, more serious offenses doomed her chances to remain a trooper. The letter cites her unprofessional conduct or what was once called behavior unbecoming of a trooper, as the reason for her dismissal.
Williams performed poorly on questions involving the lawsuit on a polygraph exam.
The polygraph exam and the lawsuit were just the beginning of Command's problems with the wayward trooper as Williams apparently has a thing for porn.

The letter states "In your due process hearing, you admitted sending or showing illicit pictures while on duty.
Your actions constitute inefficiency or other good cause as and pursuant to Chapter 7 of the Mississippi State Employee Handbook your employment is terminated effective immediately.

That's a lotta Ooops for MHP!
He's a good guy, she's a good guy, and that's the way we've always done things. No one is checking, no one is verifying. Then little problems start happening...
A beer here, t*tty pics there, next thing you know, it's World Star at work and the people involved have guns and cuffs and tasers to play with. A regular culture of coorruption!
Not to mention, usually it's the taxpayer pays for their on the job screwups!
Also, how many knew what was going on but didn't report it due to that thin blue line?
Lot of these Mississippi LEO folk need them some Jesus.
More troopers will be cumming down the pipe for termination.
Two troopers fired and two demoted - all just to see pics of what every in the metro area has seen. Pretty sad to ruin your career and throw away your family over a low-class lady like that.
The only person who likes these post more than Ivana is Bryan Bailey he can’t catch a break (doesn’t deserve one) ! Hutson and Ivana will end up at RCSO mark my words !
I see these troopers pulling up to my gym and strutting around.
They are mostly clowns with little to no education and oversized egos.
Mississippi should be embarrassed.
That's the problem with allowing women into a previously all Male environment, but which is still dominated by men. The same holds true for the military. Since people follow human nature, and since humans are fallible, instances of sexual abuse and misconduct will continue to occur. I know this may not be correct to the DEI crowd, but I have been around long enough to be good judge of human.
@6:22, I always thought steroid use was illegal.
Low class tacky 40 something with
Borderline Personality Disorder.
6:02, you nailed it! Hutson is already at Rankin SO.
Question: Has the video of the two patrol vehicles being wrecked a couple of months ago been taken down and disappeared
Google his name and the fatality that occurred in 2007 during a chase. A nice payout was awarded against the MHP. Believe it finalized several years later.
5:52 - My college Journalism 101 instructor marked up one of my first attempts at news writing for the class with the note: "Don't use the word,'lady' in a news story. Always use 'woman.' You know she's a woman; you don't know if she's a lady." This debacle certainly proves my instructor's point.
She sent pics to five troopers that we know of. This is the first. Will the other four be terminated?
Crazy how differently she is being treated compared to trooper redfruit and his receiving rooter service at weight stations or rest stops. I can’t remember.
@6:02 and @7:36, you mean to tell us this Julius Hutson guy was fired from MHP for conduct unbecoming less than two weeks ago and is already working for Bryan Bailey? This is your sheriff Rankin county! He obviously hasn’t learned much in the past year. How many more bad decisions does he have to make before there are consequences? He holds the people of Rankin county hostage only because nobody ran against him and that’s primarily because the Goon Squad news didn’t break until it was too late to qualify to run against him. Michael Jenkins could beat him in an election! Geez….
Hold on! Did Hutson claim those photos on his phone were of his wife?!
This sounds like the guy in the yellow jumpsuit.
When will the MHP reality TV show be released? "The Real Lives of Mississippi Troopers"
Damn, Julius.
The “Saga of Missippi” continues . Welfare robbed, water dirty, goon squad, now nasty troopers …….to be continued !
Hold up for clarification purposes not all DPS employees have state issued cell phones
This is almost a real life version of Reno 911.
Almost all the Shenanigans of “Super Troopers” with fewer laughs.
12:08 - I was reaching in the name of alliteration. You’re right though, “lady” does not fit when referencing Ivana.
My God, my God, what scum these people are.
and the central Mississippi housecleaning continues. It's long overdue, and it will probably get worse before gets better.
I believe the example from the top sets the tone for those downstream, and it looks to me like people went crazy during Phil Bryant's eight years as governor.
Leadership matters. The reckoning at DPS is on Marshall Fisher, and the Goon Squad is on Bryan Bailey.
With all these sophomoric shenanigans going on it's a wonder any of them had any time for trooperin'.
11:24
Very accurate assumption
KF, I don't believe any of this is true; just a great novel. Until and unless you post these pictures that you continue to say existed, I'm going to treat this just like the late night UFO radio broadcasts.
Surely you could get copies of these pics through a public records request or some such action. Inquiring minds --- well maybe, dirty minds --- want to know.
Yep he is definitely at the rankin county sheriff office! Confirmed ✔️
Maybe Fred Shanks will introduce a bill next year defining exactly who, with what background, the Niknar sheriff can hire.
Something about this here gotta be did.
Why would anyone be surprised when he showed up working for the Rankin county sheriff's office. The sheriff has to replace the deputies he lost. How do you expect him to control Rankin county with his best deputies in jail? Who will warn the chosen dope peddlers when they are going to make a roundup? Who will dry hump the people alongside the road? Who will be in charge of the dildoes? Leave the man alone. He is running the sheriff's office the best he can.
New TV reality show coming and it will be the law enforcement version of Last Chance U.
All officers in MS with problems end up at RCSO for a “Nick Saban style” reprogramming and cleanup season….
Ratings would be off the chart!!!! /sarcasm
With the new DPS Internal Affairs Director coming in, I'll bet some of those Trooper Master Sergeants are shittin' green right about now.
"With all these sophomoric shenanigans going on it's a wonder any of them had any time for trooperin'."

It's possible they HAVEN'T had any time for trooperin'. This would explain the unchecked exotic driving one witnesses on Mississippi's Interstates - plus the array of illegal tinting, license tags deliberately made unreadable, and unsecured crap falling off unroadworthy trucks of all sizes.
The post at 4:46 makes me think of the hundreds of 16, 14, 10 and 8 wheelers hauling gravel and God knows what else with worn down mudflaps or flaps blowing parallel to the roadway or no mud flaps at all.
That's illegal and it's begging to ruin your windshield no matter how far ahead of you they are.
@April 12, 2024 at 5:50 PM
You absolutely won the internet with that comment. I totally see what you did there. Awesome.
Any intimate relationship with a supervisor should be an automatic termination. (you know who you are @RCSO)...........
One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received was from a drill sergeant in basic training, on how to deal with women in the workforce, he said “don’t shit where you eat, even dogs won’t do that!”
These troopers would still have their job & future pensions had they behaved the same with ladies not MHP troopers. They decided to shit where they eat!
I can't believe the state allows users of state issued phones the ability to login with their Apple ID.
I also can't believe that someone is stupid enough to login to a company phone using their Apple ID.
Two big fails here!
Apple makes it easy to push custom configurations to devices. Of course, you can't expect the state of Mississippi to implement simple safeguards. Competency isn't a job requirement for state employees.
State employees, elected officials and government agencies do not need social media accounts. They hardly do their jobs as it is. If it's a personal account so what, that's your business but our tax dollars being spent so a sheriffs office can post nonsense on Facebook,Instagram, SnapChat,etc... WHY?
and now he's hired by the RCSO https://www.wlbt.com/2024/04/17/exclusive-mhp-trooper-fired-after-explicit-photo-investigation-now-works-rankin-county-sheriffs-office/
I worked around the patrol and DPS for about 10 years. You would not believe the things that go on involving women and troopers. I have several friends that are troopers and several of them have been transferred or fired for chasing skirts. It is as common as them speeding. They are never fired for it. If you fired every trooper who chased women you would not have enough left to do a roadblock. And the brass knows it but guess what ? they are going to cover it up. Heck they have even had rape charges swept under the rug in North MS from drunk troopers and civilian females partying together. Back in the 90's and early 2000's they kept the academy busy with them bringing females out to MLEOTA on weekends. I dont think that goes on out there these days. A non-trooper is running the show at MLEOTA.
